Not all Corpse Revivers are created equal. No. 1 is dark, stirred, and elusive — a Cognac, apple brandy, and vermouth build codified in the Savoy but often overshadowed by its brighter sibling. Ben Hopkins of Brooklyn’s Pitts and Agi’s Counter joins Cocktail College to explore lineage, balance, and what it means to revive a drink with no citrus safety net. Listen on (or read below) to discover Ben's Corpse Reviver No. 1 recipe — and don't forget to leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts!
